Sweet potato protein bars

Preparation: 5 min Cook Time 15 min Serves 8 bars

Gluten-free, grain-free protein bars that make the perfect post-workout snack.

Ingredients:

1 cup cooked, mashed sweet potato approx 2 medium

1 tsp vanilla

1 tsp cinnamon

1/4 cup maple syrup

2 eggs

1/3 cup nut butter

1/3 cup plain yogurt or used whole milk

1/2 tsp baking powder

2/3 cup protein powder vanilla or chocolate

Optional: chocolate chips to melt and drizzle.

Instructions:

Combine first 7 ingredients in a large bowl and mix well. (For a completely smooth batter you could use a blender but I just mash everything with a fork.)

Add baking powder and protein powder and stir until well combined.

Pour into a greased 9x9 baking pan (line the bottom with parchment paper for easy removal).

In a large mixing bowl, add almonds, puffed rice cereal, cranberries, coconut, and hemp seeds (if using), and toss to combine. Set aside.

Stir brown rice syrup, honey and vanilla together in a small saucepan. Heat over medium-high heat until boiling, stirring occasionally. Then let the sauce boil for 4-5 minutes, or until it reaches about 260 degrees, stirring occasionally. (The sauce will bubble up quite a bit, so keep an eye on it.) Once it’s ready, pour it evenly over the almond mixture and very quickly stir the mixture until it is evenly coated with the sauce. It hardens quickly, so you’ll need to move fast!

Quickly transfer the mixture to the lined baking dish, and press it firmly into the dish in an even layer. (I used the bottom of a measuring cup to help press the mixture down into the pan.) Let the bars cool for 30 minutes or until they reach room temperature. (You can speed up this process a bit by placing them in the refrigerator if you’d like.) Then carefully lift up the parchment paper from the baking dish and transfer it (with the bars) to a cutting board. Cut the bars into your desired shapes and sizes. Then place in a sealed container and store at room temperature until ready to eat.

The bars will last up to 10 days. Or if you freeze them, they will last up to 3 months.

If you are using unsalted almonds, add an extra 1/2 teaspoon of sea salt to the sauce mixture while it is cooking.
